Changing the Status of Video Source

Jan 23, 2015

You can change
the status of a video source if you decide to add it to the list of video
sources but not enable it until later, or to temporarily disable the video
server instead of deleting it, or to exclude certain videos from caching.
Alternatively, you can delete the video source from the list.

The following
actions are available for changing the status of a video source:

Enable—Cache the videos
from the video source.

Disable—Do not cache the
videos from the video source.

Exclude—Exclude videos
from a particular IP addresses or subnet from caching. By default, all the web
traffic (port 80) is routed to the video caching engine. To reduce the load on
the cache engine, you can specify the IP addresses or subnets that you want to
exclude from the video caching. When you select this option, the appliance
bypasses the request from proxy as well as cache.

To change the
status of a video source

Navigate to
Configuration > Optimization
Rules > Video Caching page.

On the Video Sources tab,
select the video source that you want to disable.

Click
Modify.

From the
Cache Status list, select
Enable,
Disable, or
Exclude.

Click
Save.

Note: You
can also exclude a video source when adding it to the appliance.
